    Bear Flipped over coop

    Y'all need to chill. The bear has come back once and just looked at the coop. This also happened months ago. We got new chickens and they are happy as can be. Y'all are arguing about the most petty things. Stick to Facebook if you want to argue but this is a freaking chicken forum.

    There's no Grizzlies in Colorado. Last one was killed in the 60s

    Bear Flipped over coop

    I've checked. The laws are very vague. It's the same here but the problem is the location of the coop. Theres no safe shot. And I'm not shooting a .300 Win Mag in the dark with houses within a half mile. Its not worth the risk to human life.

    Bear Flipped over coop

    So far he's come back twice. First time airsoft guns scared it away second he just decided the obstacles weren't worth the effort.

    Bear Flipped over coop

    I'm looking into blanks and simunitions and I've got plenty of .270 as backup. I'm out of town right now but we'll see if he visits again tonight. Maybe if I can find some airsoft flashbangs. They essentially use .22 blanks.

    Bear Flipped over coop

    I know I seem like a crazy redneck but I'm trying to exhaust as many possibilities as I can before I use lethal force. The risk is that it gets too comfortable around humans. Last week a lady got killed by bears while jogging in Durango. This bear is a nuisance. We've had many problems with it...

    Bear Flipped over coop

    Looking at the PSA 74U. I like the more compact style but at this rate I'll probably build a ghost gun.

    How do you pronounce 'Coyote'?

    Yote. Because if the triggers gold the yote'll fold

    Bear Flipped over coop

    Wish I had an AK so I could just buy pallets of surplus 7.62 for 5 cents a round.

    Bear Flipped over coop

    I'd definitely have buckshot as back up. Ammo is just impossible to find right now. I've got 8 rounds of birdshot and that's it.

    Bear Flipped over coop

    He came back. Lit him up with airsoft guns and he left. Didn't do anymore damage to the coop. Those chickens are lucky. Sprayed bleach around the sides because bears hate it.

    Bear Flipped over coop

    Always willing to talk hunting. Amazing. On public land you've got to get pretty far in but my friend shot his first elk last year about 3 miles in by Grand Junction.

    Bear Flipped over coop

    If it is putting human life, livestock, or real property at risk you can kill it. Legally I'm not sure what chickens are legally but that's not really a something I want to find out. I'll call the game warden in the morning.

    Bear Flipped over coop

    Sadly CO law doesn't allow that. Bird bangers are basically firecrackers launched out of a 12 gauge shell. If it comes back I'll call the game warden.

    Bear Flipped over coop

    Sure did. It's probably a 150 pound coop. Figured it'd be fine. Tied it down until we can find a more permanent solution and were setting up a security camera and keeping my more serious airsoft gun loaded by the door. Might get some 12 gauge bird bangers to try to scare it away. It's a much too...

    Bear Flipped over coop

    Bear flipped over our coop. Ate 4 but 2 managed to survive. Sadly our pullets didn't make it. Based on the the tracks I'd say 175-225 lbs bear.

    Snakes

    That sounds fun. In Colorado we have rattlesnakes on the plains and a few spots in the mountains but you usually take care of those with a shovel or 12 gauge.

    Constantly Chirping Chick

    Sadly she died overnight. Glad she's out of her misery at least.

    CHICKENS KEEP DYING

    Maybe not proper ventilation? I'm not sure. I had a perfectly healthy chicken die 3 weeks ago and found her in a similar position. It was -22 though so possibly related but not necessarily.
